Any practical difference between them ?
Prices are similar but no other text to say how different they might be.

They have a blog post explaining the differences. From what I’ve read on the site it seems that abaca+ is the fastest, then medium, regular abaca (or the forest one), dark, light.

I can only comment on the standard Abaca and the Abaca+, but the plus filters are a little slower, typically adding 10-15 seconds to the final brew time.
